Guitar Tuning by Ear — Standard E A D G B E

How to practise

1. Play your sixth (thickest) string and compare it with E2, then work toward the first (thinnest) string E4.
2. Standard tuning is E2 – A2 – D3 – G3 – B3 – E4, using A4 = 440 Hz as the reference.
3. Adjust the string until its pitch matches the reference sound. Use a comfortable listening volume and replay any tone if needed.
